Lily in the Wake (2015)
From their site, we find that this ship is part of history.
“As far as we know, she was the last boat purpose built to haul cargo commercially under sail power in the United States. Originally known as Lily of Tisbury, she transported primarily lumber between Martha’s vineyard and Maine. The Lily could carry up to thirteen tons of cargo in her hold and on deck. Before the 1930’s, vessels like the Lily ran in shallow waters, transporting cargo. The traditional deep keel of regular sailing vessels made it impossible to navigate shallow bays and rivers. Flat bottomed boats could navigate these waters and could even be beached to unload cargo. Many scows were custom built in the backyards of skilled carpenters.”
Lily in the Wake is available for $1200. Like all of Kate Wood’s work, it will be expertly framed before sale.
Kate’s latest painting is Teaism (August 2015). This calming portrait of a young lady reading by sunlight is available for $3500. An elegant frame for this remarkable work will be provided by Pierce-Archer in Palm Beach, FL. The painting measures 24×30 inches.
